I'd Like to take a moment to thank you for the improvement to the performance of the server thanks to the recent system maintance.

This was long over due and with the recent compliance with your patrons request in the previous patch, I feel your well onto the road of recover.

On behalf of myself and anyone else willing to post.....

THANK YOU.

Now if we can just get you to up the evades on assasins. lol

With GW having their own servers, I think it's really nice, now they can handle everything themselves, hopefully better than what they had!

I have yet experienced the new servers myself. Hopefully less err7s and everyone will be happy.

No, the err 7 thing isn't really something ANet can do, as they already stated. Tonight, I had two party members err 7 out during a mission run. The server is just as usual as before, I don't believe there acutally is any obvious improvement to the server performances.

err 7 isnt a server-side issue... Every On-line game gets disconnects bar NON!.. its just your ISP losing connection temporarily or a power brown-out somewhere between you and the server..

and they never stated the servers would get a performance upgrade,.. just that they were moving it o_O

What?
I very seldom had error 7 before, but now I had two in less than a day!
Could be a coincidence but I still like GW with or without their own server.

Love the game! :P

uuumm. noo. Sorry the lag isn't gone yet. I still lag heavily in the Marketplace and K Center. So Anet please get on top of that. It's not fun to play a game with lag for a month and a half.

Err7's are the fault of your crappy computer/ISP/modem/whatever, there's nothing Anet can or will do about them cuz they are totally client-side.

What they can do is improve their network coding, or at least give this elusive 'err7' a more accurate description.

In terms of coding, the reconnect facility. Although I'm not really talking about the reconnect facility that everyone else wants, just some kind of code that prevents you from dropping out because your internet connection cut off for a split second >.<

They could improve the netcode or introduce reconnects.

I'm not going to waste my time listing what hardware and modem i'm using..instead i'll just say that I NEVER...NEVER HAD AN ERR 7 BEFORE FACTIONS CAME OUT...AFTER FACTIONS..OMG...ERR 7 CITY...also there is a thread around here that talks about how peeps in the boston mass. area who are comcast customers are having tons of problems..now i don't care where the problem is (a-net..comcast..ur stupidity) i just want it fixed.

Most games show you if you are lagging, GW doesn't, it just gives you an error and drops you. That may be the cause...

That "brown-out" explanation doesn't tell me why sometimes I will err=7 the exact same time as Canadians and Austrailians, while others who are much closer to me remain online.

It also doesn't explain why Err=7s kick up durring server maintainance.

It doesn't explain why touching a flower in The Deep would cause mass party Err=7s (unless, of course, touching flowers creates power surges).

I been fine.. there was some bad lag in certain towns like zu heltzer when factions came out but I have'nt got error=7.. even in the deep- it could be latency if it's happening to people with higher times like 120 ping+ (average for overseas to the US).. maybe anet could add in a longer wait time before dropping the connect- I'm sure they've tested this though.. probably more likely client side or an issue with your isp

I've seen many people commenting about how the server maintenance/move completely removed the lag and load problems they were experiencing.
